Schools And Schools Full Of Upper-Class Twits

Some people don't get it, atmo.  All the boarding schools, super-snobby elitist's elite and wannabes and not-so-much, all compete for an astoundingly small cohort of American citizens whose families can pay full boat.  That's the main reason that despite all the bullshit you hear from AOs and mission statements, every single one of those institutions is at heart so very conservative: you can alienate or offend the 20 people out there who are willing to pay.  Emma Willard is boasting of attracting more of those exceptional American 1%ers--and their peers would say they're doing something right.  Beyond the top tier of boarding schools, you find more and more foreign kids there just because they can pay.  That's racing.
